"The boos really don't bother us" (Mopo.de)

A roll of spring in Europe. Packaged resistant, who will support in 32 European cities and bring the most spectacular Tokio Hotel show on Sunday in Hamburg. The giant center of the oval is designed expressly for the stage built for the tour "Humanoid City", which seems a mix of futuristic space ship station and the grim metropolis. MOPOP has spoken with the twin brothers Bill and Tom Kaulitz (20).

MOPOP: How is it that Germans have yet to wrinkle their nose when they hear Tokio Hotel?

Bill Kaulitz: I think in Germany, the perception of Tokio Hotel is just different. Here we live and we have begun, and at the age of 15. In other countries, we really have the same music, but we were just two or three years later with both feet. It's hard to jump over your shadow and say, "Yes, I think the music is good for people of 15 years." Nobody wants to admit. And ultimately, it is also true that success has always envy.

MOPOP: Do you consider the typically German?

Bill: Yes, but I think it develops in the direction we can expect with impatience. These trends we have observed them. But strong reactions were never the beginning for us anyway. And frankly, this is always a challenge when it happens. When I'm standing on stage and people boo, then this is mainly an incentive. Therefore I will not be shy or sad inside. But I think: Okay, so I still have to give more gas, so that such people will think good about me.

MOPOP: Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters have appreciation to the drummer Gustav and said that after a show patted his back.

Bill: Yes, for this there are other bands that can not evaluate what happened in Germany and is completely impartial in what we do. Jay Z went to see a show from us in Los Angeles and then went to dinner with us. You feel honored even if there is someone who is interested.

MOPOP: You're afraid that success takes your personal life beyond the limit?

Bill: This is one thing that always comes with success. But we're also a bit restless. You always want more. Although many people recommend us now that we go to a country where we can take us some vacation because no one knows us there.

MOPOP: Are you both humanoids for everyday life?

Tom Kaulitz: We grew deep. We never really felt normal, but like a human. Also with us today, very few sites where you feel familiar and you can relax. As very few are even moments when you can exit. In reality, no sense of familiarity to us only at home. Since there are perhaps 20 days per year. And you feel otherwise, anywhere you go there, rather like a little alien. In certain situations, one often does not really know what they want there, actually.
